Preoperative Maxillary Nerve Block and Remifentanil Use in Septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty is generally a prolonged surgical procedure that frequently involves osteotomy, which may lead to increased intraoperative remifentanil requirements. Moreover, it is often associated with significant bleeding due to the dense capillary network of the nasal region, making the maintenance of low-to-normal blood pressure preferable during surgery. Consequently, achieving stable …
Opioids, Low Nicotine Cigarettes, and Chronic Pain
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of switching to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes versus normal nicotine content (NNC) cigarettes on craving, withdrawal, and pain among individuals with chronic pain who smoke cigarettes daily and are attending office-based buprenorphine treatment (OBBT).
Acute Effect of Isometric Excercise on Pain Sensitivity in Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain
Randomized control trial to examine the immediate effect of isometric exercise on pressure pain threshold (PPT) in adults with chronic low back pain. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of isometric exercise on clinical pain intensity.
Is Conditioned Pain Modulation Predictive of Clinical Improvement in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain?
Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) a measure of the effectiveness of the descending pain pathway and therefore a measure of the body's ability to perform endogenous analgesia. In subjects with normal function of the descending pain pathway, the net-effect during CPM testing is anti-nociceptive, or inhibition of the ascending pain pathway. …
Superficial Parasternal Intercostal Plane Block in Cardiac Surgery Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the use of intermittent superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks reduces opioid usage in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive the blocks with 0.2% ropivacaine administered via catheters placed in the superficial …
Sevoflurane's Effect on Neurocognition Study
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of acute pain on long-term memory and conditioned physiologic responses in the presence and absence of low dose sevoflurane. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to identify the neural correlates of these phenomena. The study will occur over 2 …
Evaluation of Virtual Reality for Reducing Opioid Use After Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) as an adjunctive therapeutic method to reduce opioid consumption during the postoperative period of cardiac and thoracic surgeries. It is a single-center, prospective, randomized trial that will include 60 patients aged 16 to 40 undergoing surgeries such as …
Effect of Photobiomodulation to Reduce Post-operative Pain After Endodontic Surgery
The objective of this study will be to evaluate if photobiomodulation (FBM) can reduce postoperative pain in patients who will undergo endodontic surgery. For this randomized, controlled and double-blind clinical study, 34 patients without comorbidities who need endodontic surgery in the upper jaw (15 to 25 teeth) will be recruited. …
Virtual Reality in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
One of the main challenges facing the therapist in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis is to motivate the patient throughout conventional therapy. As noted in a recent review, individuals are more interested in leisure activities rather than performing repetitive tasks during therapy. Virtual reality (VR) is a three-dimensional computer-aided programme …
Nitrous Oxide Neuroimaging
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of acute pain on long-term memory and conditioned physiologic responses in the presence and absence of low dose nitrous oxide. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to identify the neural correlates of these phenomena. The study will occur over …
